She wants to be sure that if (when) she is in an auto collision, and becomes comatose (or dies), that she will be correctly identified (even if she is dismembered).

Unlike in the case that I have read about, where in a van wreck of college students returning from an out of state game, one girl was among those that died, while her friend survived in a coma. The authorities confused the identities of the two young women, giving each to the other's family.

My husband told me about someone (was it his ex-mil?? can't remember, blame the migraine) who wanted "Call me Peggy" tattooed on her left foot since she planned to leave her body to science and she didn't want autopsy/anatomy students to give her a name she didn't like.

While my hubby and I were filling out paperwork for our marriage license, another couple was at the counter being helped by the clerk. The groom-to-be was asked what his mother's name was. He wasn't sure how it was spelled though...so he had his fiancee check the tattoo on his shoulder.

I always suspect that name rings are so that when the wearer punches someone in the face, that person will never forget who was responsible for the scar. I guess if she's a kicker, that could explain the toe ring, but the rest is a mystery to me.
